Police say they’re still looking for a suspect after a violent bank robbery in Toronto earlier this week where an employee was stabbed multiple times.

Toronto police said they were called just before 1 p.m. Monday for a hold-up in the area of Dundas Street West and Spadina Avenue.

A man entered the bank wearing a mask and hoodie, pulled out a large knife and demanded cash, police said.

He then jumped over the counter and approached a bank employee.

The employee took cash out of their wallet and gave it to the man, who then stabbed the employee multiple times, police said.
